With the results of Northeastern Conference games this week, the Saugus High School girls basketball team has clinched a share of the Northeastern Conference Lynch division and can win it outright with a win Thursday, Feb. 8 at Danvers.

“I’m very proud of the work and effort the girls put in to attain one of their season goals,” Saugus coach Joe Lowe said.

Saugus beat Gloucester, 59-40. Peyton Dibiasio led the way with 18 points. Ashleen Escobar added 13 points, and Ana Silva dropped in nine.

“Congrats to our eight seniors on their senior night and all their contributions to the Saugus High School program,” Lowe said. Saugus seniors are: Escobar, Devany Millerick, Madi Femino, Amelia Pappagallo, Juliana Powers, Ashleigh Moore, Silva and Jess Bremberg.

Saugus also beat Salem, 63-32. Freshman Syd Deledi got her first varsity points with four, and sophomore Shawn Sewell added her first career varsity bucket chipping in with two points.
